After waiting for years - it all happens at once - congratulations! (although Matilda does still look in shock, bless her) xxWe were over the moon to bring our darling Matilda into the world in June 2018 after many years of trying and 2 cycles of IVF so you can only imagine the shock when we found out Matilda is going to be a big sister! Our family will be growing in February 2020. Thank you Bourn Hall Cambridge for Matilda and for clearly showing my body what it needs to do. We will forever be eternally grateful xx

NHS-funded routine IVF treatment for women under 40 is available almost everywhere in England. There are only five areas in the country where no IVF is being offered at all one of these is currently North East Essex CCG.
Now North East Essex CCG has told Colchester Gazette that the policy will be reviewed again after a new management team was set up with the two CCGs in Suffolk which both offer up to two cycles of NHS funded IVF for couples.
Bourn Hall Colchester holds the NHS IVF contract for the East of England and is the only clinic based in the region that can offer all appointments, including egg collection and embryo transfer at the same location with the same team throughout.
Bourn Hall is holding a free fertility roadshow Ipswich Roadshow to provide advice for couples and individuals concerned about their fertility. It will include one2one consultations with a fertility nurse specialist.
A spokesman for the North East Essex CCG said: “In November 2015, following clinical and public engagement, the North East Essex CCG introduced a policy to restrict IVF treatment for all couples, except those with complex health needs, while it was in formal financial turnaround.
“The restrictions in north-east Essex were made at the time when there was significant pressure on health and care services and resources. Since then, we have been reviewing the policy on a regular basis.
“As a new management team has formed for the three CCGs across Suffolk and north-east Essex, the policy will be reviewed again.”
